Quarter to Three discussion

What do you guys think? With the power of my Kindle, I can read almost anything now! ;p

All You Need Is Kill?

I would counter-propose The Magicians.

Having a look at both "All You Need Is Kill" sounds more fun. But I'd love to read a sample of the actual writing first.

I'm leaning more towards "The Magicians" myself, but I'll leave it up to you guys, I'm open minded!

Well this obviously never happened!

QT3's always been pretty bad with its clubs, though.

Yes, yes it has.

We could all agree to do A Dance with Dragons!

I have a feeling that that one would be a tough one to get people to agree to reading at an equal pace. Athryn will probably finish it off at stoplights on the drive home from the bookstore.

I'd definitely be up for a group read, though not a lot of members of the group seem to be that active any more. I vote for The Manual of Detection!

I like this idea

I agree with A dance with Dragons

So, anyone object to ADwD? What's the strategy for a typical group read? We keep each other abreast of our progress through the book, and we only post spoilers/discussion at the pace of the slowest reader? I did check out "The Manual of Detection" and it seems pretty cool, so I'd have no objections to that, either.

My only issue with ADwD is that with a group read I think the idea is for people to read at roughly the same rate so it can be discussed at various points, but I'm pretty sure that most of us have been waiting so damn long for this book we'll all be pouncing on it like a hobo on a ham sandwich. If a group read is more about 'everyone read until done, then chat' that's fine. Not like I'm going to be posting in the ADwD on QT3 any time soon. :P

That is a good point, I know that book will be read within a week for me.

We could read one of the books that one of our QT3 members have written, like The Falling Machine or Dopefiend: A Father's Journey from Addiction to Redemption.

I'd definitely be up for reading The Falling Machine.

I'm not that in to steampunk, but I would give it a shot.

I'd be up for either. However, I checked Amazon UK for The Falling Machine and it is only coming out here on the 1st of July: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Falling-Machi...

Could we delay reading it for that long?

As for Dopefiend, that's not out until September.

I'm probably not the only person who is trying to finish up a few books before the tacnuke that is A Dance with Dragons comes out, so I've got no problem with waiting on doing a book club reading until August.

I'm in for The Falling Machine, and I'm also OK with August.

I'd be up for it as well!

I have been meaning to buy The Falling Machine, but it does not exist on the Kindle yet =(

See this thread: http://www.quartertothree.com/game-ta...

I'll start adding the books that get picked to here as well!

what about The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka?
